After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 11 Overcome the Sickness
Gu Xijue sneered, his anger rising even more when he saw her gesturing with her hands!

She said sarcastically, "Song Jin'an, don't pretend to be a chaste and virtuous woman in front of me. It's disgusting."

Upon hearing his words, Song Jin'an trembled all over, and tears welled up in her eyes.

His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the next second, a crisp "smack" rang out, and a red mark quickly appeared on the left side of Gu Xijue's face.

She stared at him, her hands moving rapidly.

—Yes, I am not some chaste and virtuous woman, and you are not a good person either!
Gu Xijue's brows were furrowed tightly, his hands clenched into fists, but he did not make a move.

The two stood by the roadside for quite a while before he got into the car with a cold expression.

Song Jin'an took a deep breath, her eyes filled with tears as she stubbornly looked at him, staring at his hands that were already on the steering wheel.

She thought he would return it, but to her surprise, he didn't even lift a finger.

"Get in the car!" Gu Xijue slammed his fist on the steering wheel, venting his anger!
The old home of the Gu family.

Gu Xijue slammed the car door and got out, making quite a scene. He didn't wait for anyone and went straight inside.

Song Jin'an watched his retreating figure, composed herself in the car, and then got out.

The Gu family is a large clan, and news of Old Master Gu's serious illness had already spread to the collateral branches. Recently, many younger relatives have come to visit with gifts, but Gu Donglin has declined them all, citing the old master's need to rest and recuperate.

As a result, the Gu family home has been relatively quiet lately, with few visitors and feels quite empty.

But Song Jin'an's appearance made the empty courtyard stand out even more.

Madam Gu, Lin Qingshuang, was feeding the koi in the pond in the courtyard when she saw Song Jin'an coming over, but she didn't even glance at her.

He continued to feed the group of small koi: "Eat more, otherwise you won't be able to eat when you see certain people later."

She casually stretched out her hand, and the maid beside her immediately understood the signal and promptly opened a new box of fish food and placed it in Lin Qingshuang's hand.

Song Jin'an knew that Madam Gu simply didn't want to see her. However, she could only stop, walk up to Madam Gu, and force a smile.

He made a gesture and called out "Mom".

Now that she's already here, and she's pregnant with the Gu family's child, even if she's unwilling, she's protected by the old man.

"Let's go."

The old man wants to see her.

Lin Qingshuang didn't take her with her; instead, she had a servant lead her there.

After falling ill, Grandpa Gu moved to the most secluded and tranquil place, which was the perfect environment for recuperation.

The old man's health has been a bit poor lately, and he is only allowed to walk around in his room when the weather is nice.

The maid went in first, and after a short while, she lowered her eyes and walked to Song Jin'an's side: "Young Madam, please go in."

After Song Jin'an went inside, she took the elevator to the second floor, opened the door, and walked to Old Master Gu's bedside.

Old Master Gu was pale and half-sitting on the bed. He was much thinner than before and was on a ventilator.

His appearance surprised Song Jin'an, but she didn't feel afraid; instead, a sense of sorrow arose in her heart.

I never knew that illness could slowly torment a person into this state.

"Stay away from me, I'm afraid I'll pass on my illness to you."

Grandpa Gu's voice became much softer, but his cloudy eyes were fixed on Song Jin'an's lower abdomen.
